About

We take a lot of photos and we thought it might be fun to share a photo from our garden or travels each day. Rather than share these on our exotic garden blog Alternative Eden we thought it would be good to start a new site dedicated to these photos. The photos we share will sometimes be from the days events but sometimes will relate to our thoughts or particular memories.

We will try to share a photo from our garden or from our travels each day, although sometimes life can get rather hectic so please forgive us if we miss a day here or there.

If you want to ask us about the photos please click on the date under each one to access the comments section.

Well its a new year, and I managed to forget to post yesterday, I'm sure you will forgive me! In our second year with 365 hopefully we will continue to post interesting photos from our travels and garden.Todays photo is Polygonatum punctatum, which is reportedly rare in cultivation. It comes from the North West of India. The speckled pale pink flowers on this Solomon's Seal hang as small bells as the new growth elongates and as the season progresses, the flowers turn into attractive red fruits as you can see in ours growing in the raised bed by the filter house. The fruit-bearing stems can overwinter if its in a sheltered position and its not too cold.
